THT LEGISLATURE.

The returns Of the election are sealed
until the cath of the present month, and
in the mean time the people suppose that
the Democrats will have nearly two
thirds majority. If that majority pro-
poses to elect the same officers with the
same policy, the next election will beat
the Democratic party by the disintegrat-
ing influences of its own foolishness.
What we want in the Legislature is a
sound aud decided policy on State affairs
that will provide for revenue collected
on a proper and just system OF taxation
and at the same time providing in some
way for getting rid of the most awful
difficulty of the debt. 1t is Of no account
to the people of Virginia that the specu-
lators, if we must call them so, have got
ten hold of the debt.
The fact IS hat we are impaled on this
question, and we would be wise to rid
ourselves Of it as soon as possible.
